Four Assistant Republicans voted ?with the real Republicans of Ken tucky to elect a Republican Senator from Kentucky. The thirsty folks of Augusta are still making war on the North Au gusta dispensary. They have drank it dry four times since it was es tablished. What is the good of trying to boost the present brand'of Republi can prosperity when the Chaplain of the House of Representatives prays for the unemployed.. G. Wash. Hunter has been sen tenced to eight years in the penitent tiary for killing a fellow man. So far so good, but when will he be s'm to serve his sentence? A Republican Congress without a scandal could hardly be expected and this time the lobbyists f or the Hol land Submarine boats are to be" in vestigated. Turn the rascals out. The Greenville Sun thinks that "some of the dispensary grafters could save the state a good portion of the $15,000 appropriated for investigating by turning ' States evidence. We welcome to our exchange list The Greenville Evening Sun, which has just been launched at Greenville. S.' C. Mr. J. C. Garliugton is Editor of the Sim, which is a guarantee that it will be well edited. Gen. Keifer, the Republican Ohio Congressman, thinks "the world is growing better." It needs to since the time Keifer was Speaker of the House of Representatives, which led to the people turning the rascals out. _ The anxiety of Republicans for the laboring man is becoming more and more apparent as the election approaches, and even Senator Knox is running Senator La Follette a close race with their Employers Lia bility bills._ The Bamberg Herald thinks that "the legislature has set a bad prece dent in relieving the former State Treasurers from Liability on their bonds for the theft of State bonds by clerks employed in the office." We rather agree with the Herald. We do not know anything about them, but will wager a last year's bird's nest against a ginger cake that the four so-called Democrats who voted to elect a Republican Senator from Kentucky are all anti Bryan men. Phesid^snt Gompers of the Feder ation of Labor declares that. wages must not be reduced, but he must, remember that Labor is not protected by the Republican tariff' |ike the Steel Trust 'ana thei^oreV^lAbor'^is, subject ,to the law of supply and demand reg ulating the price. . There is some talk of nominating Senator Tillman for Vice President, with Bryan as President. South Carolina wants Tinman "to"' remain Just where he is. ?bst.anybody can. fill the Vice Presidential job, but we do not know a man that can fill Till-1 man's as well as he does. So let: him stay where.he is. ; j It is pretty hard to punish a man who ' has money 6r influence in this State. If by any " accident a jury should convict such a man, the case is appealed to. the Supreme '. Court, and,, after being hung up by that tribunal until the witnesses are all dead the man is granted a new trial and then he goes free. Politics are warming up. Ala bama reports a fist fight over Taft; the Lieut. Governor ot Oklahoma has been arrested for flourishing a pistol at a Democratic convention, and this only at the beginning of the fray. There will evidently be a warm time in several old towns when the patriots really get down to business. Reduce the Acreage. The ?pftrtanbux{| Herald, publish ed right'juV t^H'^uft.o!f:the biggest cotton mill district in' the South, warns the cotton . farmer against ma?ung a big cotton crop this year. As.the, Herald, says the average. far mer don't pay much attention to the cry for a reA^w;.mjBotton ...acre age, and the t production of supply crops, He;keeps. on increasing the extent of his cotton land, says the Herald, and is cohfenc to buy Wes tern corn and, bacon. The cry for a smaller cotton crop next season has just been made. by the cotton growers in convention at Dallas, Texas, but we doubt that a single farmer has resolved to cut down his acreage this season in response to this appeal. ' This cry has been disregarded in recent years, during a period of great prosperity, and the farmer hasn't suffered, but has on the oth er hand profitted. This year dif ferent conditions exist in the coun try at large, and the farmer should think twice before he does his part towards raising a bumper crop. The Herald says in the warehouses of the mills of North and South Caro lina there are thousands bales of cloth for which there is no demand. In some instances this cloth has been paid for but the jobbers having no d mand for it, he does not order it shipped. The cloth market is unset tled, to say the least, and by many it is declared to have "gone all to pieces." The mills continue in operation and their product continues to ac cumulate in the warehouses. If this condition continnes, it will cause a sharp break in the price! of cotton before another year, and it certainly presents a factor the farmer should consider before his next crop is put in the ground. Bryan Answers Critics. Some of the big newspapers have been pleased to call Mr. Bryan "a dictator." They insist that he per mit the democractic party to do as it pleases, and that he stop dictat ing what should be done. In ans . ewer to the charges of these news papers Mr. Bryan says: "How could I be a dictator? What have I with which to force one single human being? What have I with which to influence one single vote? I have no patronage with which to corrupt you. I never had. I have no wealth with which to buy you. I never had. I have no corporations behind me with which to terrorize you. I never did." This is a conclusive answer, but it will do no good. Republican pa pers, will find something else to hark on. They know that thin*? they ( say about Mr. Bryan are not true, but that does not make any differ ence. They say anything to injure him with the people, but their tricks will amount to nothing. They know Mr. Bryan and they know these pa pers. Must Pay the Piper. "Won't the people of the town of Bambrrg pay nice taxes next year?1' asks the Herald of that city. "Our school taxes will be ten mills divided as follows; three mills for school house bonds, four mills for school purposes and replacing the new building, and three mills consti tution tax, making a grand total for schools alone of ten mills. The State levy is 5 1-2 mills, and adding to this the county levy of three mills and town taxes of eigiit mills' will make the eitizens of Bamberg pay taxes of 26 1-5 mills. We don't mind paying taxes, when we get anything for it, so we are not complaining aboutt he school levy, but there was no use for the legislature to create new offices, raise salaries, and make extravagant appropriations." Bam berg has many conveniences and she must learn , that .those who dance must pay the piper. . Stern and Solemn, : ; '.'We, the colored n^im^terspf the ?. M. E7 ;the Av M. E, ^ion. 'and the C. M. E. churches of the United States, in conference assembled in the city' of Wasnihgt?n. do hereby raise our voices in stern and, solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination ( for the presidency eith-. er President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having arrayed against either of those gentlemen at the. polls next November, the al most solid colored vote of the North.". . Great Caesar! It makes U3 shud der to think, what it will cost the Trust backers of the Republican party to stem this revolt. The col ored troops fought nobly and the colored politicians evidently intend to emulate their example. Hits the Judge Hard. Judge Robert Aldrich, at his first terra of court in Conway addressed the grand jury as to enforcing the law, and said that juries did not do their dnty some times. In comment ing on the above incident the Bam berg Herald says; "We know of no attorney who has made greater ef forts to keep juries from doing their dnty at times..:wheji it was against his clients, and. we trust he wi|l inoW;lend;talL his^jnfiuenee to having the law enf6j<^.,, He cer tainly, will have a great^eaf to do along this line to repay for ma i>fist efforts at. having the guilty go un punished." This is a s.erious1ar?aign-( ment, but j?e .believe it js' just*. But. the Judge now sees things from a different view_ point, and will see that the scales of justice are held with even poise. Who is the Mob? The A;ken Recorder says: "We have not yet seen any persons, call ing for the nomination of Bryan, explain where he is to get the 242 votes necessary for his election. Will not some one of his supporters give thi3 important information?" Can the Recorder name a candidate and "explain where he is to get the 242 votes necessary for his election?" If the Recorder will give us "this im portant, information" we will drop Bryan and support its candidate if he is a good Democrat. It is up to the Recorder to name the next Pres ident. Mr. Hearst has decided that the Independence League will hold its national convention after the Democrats and Republicans have shown their hands. Mr. Taft is playing politics for all there is in it, while the uuderstrap pers of the War Department have to attend to the government business which Taft is paid to do. Three of the renegade Democrats who helped elect a Republican to the United States Senate are from Louisville. That accounts for their vote. Warned Three Times. After having dreams for three nights in succession which she inter preted as warning of her husband's death, Mrs. John Coyde. of Brook lyn, N. Y., was told Sunday that he had fallen dead on a Bay Ridge train while crossing the bridge. "I knew this was coming," said the gray-haired woman. "For the past three nights I have had dreams that could mean nothing eise. In the first dream I saw my husband carrying a platter of raw beef from which the blood was dripping. The next night I dreamed of my mother, who is dead, doing the same thing. Last night I thought I heard, my hus band's footsteps, but when I went to the door there was no one there.1 I warned him after each dream, but j he laughed at me. I knew he would J not come home alive after the last one" Coyde was sitting in the train reading a newspaper, when he top- j pled out of his seat to the floor. Death was due to heart desease. Seven Terrorists Hanged. At St. Petersburg, the seven terrorists who were condemned to death by a courtmartial for complici ty in a plot against the lives of Gran i Duke Nicholas Nichilaivitch and M. Ghtcheglovitoff, Minister of justice, and whose sentences was confirmed recently by Gen. Hazenkamp, cheif of the generalstaff, were hanged at iaybrake Sunday at Lizzy Noss oppo site Kronstadt. Among those who suffered death were Calvino, the sup posed Italian, who had in his pos session when arrested a passport issued to the real Calvino, the St. Petersburg correspondent of two Italian papers, and three women, two Df whom were 18 and 19 years old, respectively. Burned to Death. By the overturning of a pot of boiling tar early Wednesday morn ing at the home of Thomas Hardin, iear Greensboro, N. C, two of his children, aged four and six, one of his brother's children, aged seven tvere burned to death. The pot over turned, molten fluid enveloping three cniluien.eauaiug mutant death, j Hard in is a prominent dairyman. "A good listener is usually much sought after." "That's so. Henpeck's wife is look ing for him ail the time." How to Entertain Guests. For an evening's entertainment take the names of some drugs or medicines, such as peppermint, chloroform or laudanum. Write each name on a slip of paper and cut between the letters; then wrap in white. paper,^j*6wder fashion, each word forming a powder. Give one to each guest, together with paper and pencil, requesting them to write an article on the inclosed medi cine, its uses and abuses. Appoint a judge to read the essays and pronounce I judgment, the best to receive a prise. Of course the funnier they are thebet? tee. In one case peppermint was war ranted to cure ail aches, from head ache to heartache. How to-Woch Chamois. ' Every oue does not know the secret of washing chamois skin so as to make It as good as new. Wet the chamois In a weak solution of washing soda and water, rubbing plenty of white soap into it Let It lie for two hours, then rub between the hands un til clean. Binse in a weak solution of soda and water with a little soap shak en in. If rinsed in pure water, It be comes hard. It is the small particles of soap that give it silky softness. Wring in a dry towel and dry quickly, pulling and brushing well. How to Save Strength In ironing. The housekeeper of limited meane can save her fire and strength by do ing as much iroaiug as possible with the clothes wringer. Life Is too short and health too precious to be wasted sprinkling, folding, unfolding, ironing and refolding the largest part of a wash, riain pieces, like towels, pil lowcases, sheets, merinos and stock ings, put through the wringer will be smooth enough for all practical pur poses if the rollers are tight_. CARE OF SKIRTS. How to Clean, Prats and Lay Them Away Preparly. Here is .*. practical.plan Cor cleaning and pressing",skirts, says the New York American: Brush them first, then whisk.off .with a clean .brush damp ened in ammonia and. warm water.. Any-stain can'be removed if rubbed out at once with a mixture of equal parts of ammonia, alcohol and water.. After the skirt is thoroughly cleaned, brushed and dried lay it on the press ing table or board, pin each, plait down in the proper fold, cover the skirt with a piece of dark woolen goods which has been previously dampened and then press. To remove dust from silk skirts do not use a brush, but wipe them with a piece of velveteen, which will not wear the silk and will remove the dust very much more satisfactorily than a brush. Silk or ruffled skirts should be fitted out with tapes sewed on the lower ruffles, by which they may be hung upside down. This prevents the Bkirt from sagging and the ruffles from drooping. Gowns of delicate material should be put away in long boxes or drawers, each skirt being folded in plaits, into which it should fall when being worn. The bodices should be stuffed with tissue paper; also the sleeves and trimmings filled out with the paper. Wash frocks should rlways be put away hi trunks, boxes or drawers, whether they have been worn or not, for in hanging they grow stringy, are more easily affected by dampness and lose their freshness before they are worn. How to Clean White Gloves. Nothing is so economical l or ordinary wear as white doeskin gloves, for they last well and wash almost unendingly, but their success lies in the secret of careful washing. The gloves should be put In warm water, not too warm, and gently rubbed with a good soap. Tuko each glove singly and soap it into a ball in the palm of the hand. Rinse by gently shaking in the water. When the rir.siug is well accomplished, soap them again, and then without be ing rinsed squeeze them until ail the water has run out Straighten the gloves, don't pull them, and hang to dry where there is a current of air: do not put them near a fire. The dry ing takes rather a long time, and at first the gloves look spoiled, says Home Notes. But they are a real success when once dry, and they must be briskly rubbed together to get rid of the stiffness-,: then they are ready to wear and as good as new. How to Amuse Childien. A quiet, rainy day game for children old enough to read is to cut out all the animals and birds you can find; then write the names of each on small slips of paper, let the children have one cor ner of the room for a playground, and let them place all the animals on the floor; then find the name of each one. It will not only amuse them for hours, but they will soon learn to know all the different kinds of animals and birds. Give them crayons and Jet them color them. Big Fire at Tampa. The entire extreme northeastern section of Tampa, Fla., was destroyed by fire, which raged uninterruptedly from 9 A. M. to 1 P. M. Sunday. The area burned covered fifty-five acres, or eighteen and one-half city blocks and three hundred and eight build ings were destroyed with a total loss, estimated at $600,000. * Kennedy's Laxative CONTAINS HONEY AND TAR Relieves Colds by working them out of the system through a copious and healthy action of the bowels.
